Stockton High Street

Stockton High Street used to be the widest in the country and, despite its multiple re-configurations in futile attempts to regenerate business, a visit remains entertaining due to the strange characters or weird behaviour often on view, and today was no exception: first at the Quaint and Quirky Café where our lunch was accompanied by the usual inadvertent floor show provided by the waiting-on staff and some of their customers, then in the outdoor market where a man was striding along oblivious to, or unconcerned by, a large plastic bag that had attached itself to his right shoe producing a ridiculous clunk swish, clunk swish sound as he walked along.
